The Lodge at Gleneagles is set in twenty-seven acres of parklands and is surrounded by some of the most spectacular and picturesque landscapes of Perthshire. Located in the heart of Scotland, the mountains, glens, lochs, and rivers – all easily accessible to our guests – create dramatic and breathtaking views. Gleneagles Lodge, whilst secluded, is conveniently located just one mile from the A9 making it easy to access from all directions. Edinburgh and Glasgow are both within an hour's drive (either to the cities or their airports), and Perth is just fifteen minutes away. Gleneagles railway station is only a short drive from the Lodge.

Although the Lodge is fully equipped for self-catering, guests may also wish to dine in the hotel, which is also located on the estate. The elegant wood-panelled lounge bar is a cosy and comfortable meeting place, with an open log fire where guests gather prior to dinner or enjoy a drink with family or friends, and has a fine selection of beers, wines, and spirits from the well-stocked cellar. Complimentary WIFI access is available in the hotel and the leisure centre.

The hotel takes great pride in the reputation they have established over the years and are renowned for the creation of some of the finest dishes to grace any gourmet table. The excellence achieved in terms of quality and presentation has been recognised with awards from 'Eat Scotland', run by the Scottish Tourist Board.

Guests at the lodge have complimentary use of the sumptuous Leisure Centre. Facilities include a heated swimming pool with adjacent children's pool, a Jacuzzi, steam-room, and sauna as well as a fully equipped and air-conditioned gym. Qualified Leisure Centre staff are available for help and advice, and after your swim or workout, you can relax with a light snack, coffee or soft drink in the comfortable lounge of the rustic-style Cafeteria.

Dinner at Duchally is a delightful and memorable occasion. Carefully prepared menus offer you a generous selection of fine dishes featuring both meals with a strong Scottish influence and those with a truly international accent. The three-course luncheon menu features a bistro style selection of dishes. The vast majority of the produce prepared in the kitchen is sourced locally in Perthshire and, wherever possible, is certified as being of organic, traceable, and freedom origin.

Gleneagles

Golf: - No matter what your ability or experience, Perthshire has plenty to offer you by way of golf course challenges. From the mighty Gleneagles, only 2 miles away and one of the most magnificent and prestigious courses in the world, to the nine-hole course at nearby Kenmore, arguably one of the most beautiful, you will be thoroughly spoilt for choice. For golf course connoisseurs, St Andrews, ‘the home of golf’, is reachable in just over an hour's drive; while Muirfield, Carnoustie, and Turnberry, all first-class championship courses, are also easily accessible. Locally there are several other excellent courses - Auchterarder, Crieff, and White Moss all present a comfortable challenge for any golfer.

Water Sports: - Perthshire is awash with water-sport facilities - everything from jet-skis to white-water rafting, sailing on Loch Tay to riding the rapids at Grandtully or high action canoeing in rugged canyons. There are several well-established and experienced centres in the area to make all the necessary arrangements and to provide you with any training required.

Winter Sports: - Within an hour’s drive, you can take to the slopes on skis or snowboards at the Glenshee, Aviemore, or Braemar Ski Centres, which between them have thirty-eight excellent runs and all provide daily and weekly lift passes, equipment hire, and tuition facilities. The surrounding mountains also offer plenty of scope for snow and ice climbing, or for an altogether more gentle pursuit, venture indoors to the curling rink in Perth and enjoy one of Scotland's traditional winter sports.

Walking: - Duchally lies at the gateway to the Highlands and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful natural scenery that Scotland has to offer. The Sma Glen, Glen Quaich, and Glen Lyon, three of the most spectacular areas in Perthshire, are invitingly close and offer ample opportunities for ramblers and hikers of average ability and ambition. For the more adventurous, Ben Lawers, Schiehallionand the Tarmachan Ridge are among the higher, technically challenging mountain itineraries in the immediate vicinity. If you simply prefer a gentle stroll, pathways by Loch Tay, Loch Earn, or Loch Katrine will provide a wealth of panoramic views and superb photographic opportunities.

Fishing: - Whether you are a novice or a seasoned salmon angler there are plenty of waters in Perthshire to lure you onto the banks. Some of the finest trout lochs and salmon beats in Scotland are only a short drive away from the estate. For the novice, there are a number of casting clinics, clubs, and stocked ponds where you can learn to enjoy the skills and thrills of angling.

Museums: - The largest Roman station in Britain, the Ardoch Camp, is situated at Braco, a few minutes drive from Duchally. You can also visit the Crannog Centre on Loch Tay and experience life as an ancient loch-dweller in their thatched island homes. Perth Museum is one of the oldest in Britain and the Black Watch Museum in Perth, exhibits nearly three centuries of Military History. There are also clan museums, museums of farming, and the oldest public library in Scotland is situated in Abernethy. The Jacobean battle sites at Killiecrankie and the infamous Bannockburn are in the area as well as nearby Glencoe, always a chilling location with its fascinating and fearful history.

Castles & Monuments: - Scotland has endured a long and eventful history, and there are numerous castles and monuments still proudly standing within the immediate area - Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument of ‘Braveheart’ fame, Glamis Castle, the childhood home of the late Queen Mother, or Blair Castle depicting life from the 16th century. From the impressive and magnificent Edinburgh Castle, only an hour away by car, with its museums and dramatic displays, to the solitude of the Island Castle on Loch Leven where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned, you can experience the lives of your ancestors - or perhaps they were your enemies?

Gardens & Parks: - Not surprisingly, Perthshire has a magnificent variety of gardens to visit. There is Drummond Castle with its formal Italian garden; the natural heather collection at Bells Cherrybank in Perth; the woodland and Himalayan delights at Cluny, or the formal gardens in the grounds of the stately home at Kinross. Why not take a walk in the woodland gardens at the Hermitage near Dunkeld and visit the cathedral or the Beatrix Potter Centre on the same tour.

Distilleries: - No visit to this part of Scotland would be complete without an excursion to one of the many distilleries in the area. Duchally is located at the start of the ‘Whisky Trail’ which runs up through the Highlands to Spey-side and passes some of the most recognised names in the wonderful world of Scotch whisky. The new Tullibardine distillery in Blackford is definitely worth a visit and in the immediate area; there are the Famous Grouse and Aberfeldy Distilleries, with both wonderful visitor centres and an opportunity to ‘tak a wee dram’. The Edradour at Pitlochry is the smallest and one of the oldest distilleries in the country.

Visitor Centres: - There are far too many visitor centres to list them all here, but you can choose from a wide variety including - heather jewellery, crystal, potteries, glassware, knitwear, horn carving, jute production and power, to name just a few. The newly re-furbished Stanley Mills, on the banks of the River Tay presents life in the mill as it was a hundred years ago. There are numerous wildlife centres - the award winning wildlife attraction set in the hills at Auchingarrich, the deer park at Glengoulandie, bird watching at the Loch of the Lowes near Dunkeld, and the nature reserve run by RSPB at Vane Farm. You can also take a trip with Highland Adventure Safaris in Aberfeldy that will take you off road in search of wildlife.

Tours: - Perthshire is the perfect base from which to embark upon organised and guided tours, either in the area or further afield, and a wide variety of special interests are catered for. The natural history and Scottish history tours are particularly popular; however, art and crafts, antiques, architecture, food and drink are also well featured on a number of interesting excursions.

“Would not stay again”

Reviewed 21 Jul 2016

Although lodge was lovely, owners advertise it has wifi, we had to pay for it on arrival, it didn't work, went back to reception got another code, it also didn't work, only to be told by receptionist that owners don't pay for it, so they don't have wifi in lodge and although hotel do sell it to guests it's a hit or miss if you can get connected to there server, which we didn't.
Really frustrating when you have been mislead, would never have book if I had known no wifi.
Hotel receptionist also said other guests complain about this.
Take your £525 for 3 nights and don't deliver.

Hi Lambert,
It's nice to hear you thought the lodge was lovely, although sorry to read that you feel you have been mislead around the wifi. On our advertisement we only have the option to say 'yes/no' to wifi being available, and wifi is available, it is just supplied through the estate themselves at a very small cost. The price for your stay would not have been any different based on the availability or quality of wifi. What we can do is add some notes to the text in our advertisement to make it clear that the wifi is purchased through the estate on arrival so that is clearer to guests in future.
The hotel are usually really helpful when it comes to resolving issues and I would hope they refunded you for the cost of the wifi if it wasn't working for you. We ourselves would've been happy to assist had you contacted us during your stay.
Once again apologies that the quality of the wifi impacted your stay at the lodge.
Kind Regards
Paul and Fran

We planned this holiday for my parents and my brother and family who were visiting us. From the day we planned it everything went exceptionally well. Our special thanks to Paul and Fran who made it much easier. The accommodation was of high standards and suited us in every way. The location was beautiful, quiet and friendly. It was our first trip to Scotland and will certainly not be the last. We planned day trips to Edinburgh and Stirling. This location being central to both enabled us to make our holiday even memorable.
We would highly recommend this accommodation at Gleneagles. It's worth every penny paid. We are certain no one would return disappointed. In fact we ourselves are planning to travel again to Gleneagles. Once again, our sincere thanks to Paul and Fran.

“Great accommodation.”

Great accommodation in a lovely area, good leisure facilities. If booking a break in this area in future would definitely come back here.
